The Ukrainian kobza was traditionally gut-strung, with a body hewn froma single block of wood. Instruments with a staved assembly also exist.The kobza has a medium length neck which may or may not have tied-onfrets, which were usually made of gut. It was single-strung (sometimesalso double-strung) and the strings were played with fingertips oroccasionally with a plectrum threaded through a ring placed on themiddle finger.60-yeared experience of acoustic guitars productionmade the name of “Trembita” a synonym of high quality in the musicindustry. Using new technologies “Trembita” managed to provide massconsumers with row of possibilities which were before available by farmore expensive instruments.
